    Kent's military history runs from the Royal Engineers at Brompton Barracks in Chatham to the Gurkha community around Folkestone and Shorncliffe. Its position between London and the Channel ports has made it a base for logistics, construction and security firms, and many veterans who served in the county have stayed to start businesses here.

    The 2021 Census counted 52,545 veterans in the Kent County Council area, 4.1% of residents aged 16 and over. Source: Census 2021 table TS071, Previously served in the UK armed forces — ONS via Nomis
